Ok to tell you about it so far, I took the stepper motor out, cleaned it and attached it again and that helped with the revs, it had actually shaken very loose. As for the not starting, a tickety sound that was occurring got louder and my head gasket went. Perhaps it was already blowing...

I'm absolutely a novice. I'll check the vac hose, I am currently looking at how to check the fuel filter which I gather is somewhere near the tank and slides out, I think I'll also give the engine bay a wash down so I can see what's going on better. Do you think I'm in the rough ballpark...

Beautiful

Hi guys, I'd like to pick the brains of some of the experienced Land Rover owners who will be floating about here. Of late my Discovery has been taking an awful long time to start and I wasn't sure why, it would rasp as if it was about to burst into life, only to quieten down...

If forums like this decide on a channel for our community and we all adhere to it, we have a greater chance of picking up traffic. I'm from Devizes but am harvesting near cambridge, if you're down this neck of the woods look for a lifted V8i Discovery, blue with a large yellow aerial swaying...

Thanks, I'll check that over!

2.5 ton vehicle?! Get outta here, a 90 doesn't even come close to 2.5 tons! Look mate, the thing to do is ring them. I did comparison websites and took those prices to Adrian Flux and told them how I thought those prices were ridiculous. If you talk through each point you'll find you'll get...

Lucky blighter! I'd kill for an Ex Mod 110 and will be trying to save enough money for one this harvest and subsequent cultivations. Made just over 7600 last year from Sep 1st to Dec 1st and hopefully can replicate that again and spend about 4K on one. Looks a brilliant truck mate, bet it felt...

Hi guys, posted some of this info up in another part of the forum but thought I'd post it here too as this is the Discovery section. I've recently bought a 1996 Discovery and asides from a few worn bits and 2 spots of corrosion it is a sound truck. However last week it started...

Hopefully it won't stay white for long! :D:D:D

In the past I had some high quotes from Flux but when I went to insure my 1996 Discovery with it's 3.9 V8 and a few mods Flux came through at just over £1000 and I have no NCB as it's my first policy. With this they also gave me free keycare, cover for my fob, locks, offroading and have said...

Just received my new credit card this morning with a £3750 limit........might be a bit irresponsible splashing it all on this Defender though, as much as I'd love to. Gorgeous truck and what I always wanted, I too however have now got a Discovery, which, in all fairness has been a brilliant...

Right, new info. When the car is not hot there is barely any leaking but when it's hot it leaks alot. There is a very faint smell of burnt oil (at least that's what I think it is) when I get out after a good, long drive.

I'll post some pics tomorrow of the horrors!

Yeah I drive a 1996 Land Rover discovery with the 3.9 V8 which I'm happy with as a first car. Took it up to the Barbury horse trials the other day, rear seats folded up, cushions, pillows and a double duvet. Sorted! It was so funny watching people trying to do the same with their Citroen C1s etc...

It's just leaking, no smell of burning oil when I drive it and I've been driving it alot from the round town slog to some fast paced stuff on big roads. Will aim to powerwash the gunk off it tomorrow and have a mate who's going to come over and try to help me locate the source. I know I need...

Hi guys, my beloved Disco 1 has sprung a leak from somewhere currently unknown, I topped it up before going to the Barbury horse trials on Friday and it's now over halfway down between the 2 lines on the dipstick. Leaks alot more after it's been driven and even though it's uncommon...

Not sure how many mpg mine does, whatever it is it's not very good. I visit the petrol station about 3-4 times as many times as my friends who drive "normal cars". However when I start thinking of the money I could be saving all I need to do is press my toe down on that accelerator and...

Hi Ed, only just come across this post. I run a 1996 Land Rover Discovery on LPG, I have a multipoint system so I start on petrol, drive on petrol for a little while as the engine warms and then I have a switch to the right of the steering wheel that I switch down to G (for gas) and it runs...

All of the above are considerably larger though so I suppose that could be considered a draw back.
